The Green Bay Packers locked in their starting center and presumably the starting offensive line for the 2026 season when they re-signed Sean Rhyan to a three-year, $33 million deal. The Packers figure to deploy a starting offensive line of Jordan Morgan, Aaron Banks, Rhyan, Anthony Belton and Zach Tom.

That's for the upcoming season. If Rhyan disappoints during his first full season as a starting center, the Packers could move on from Rhyan's contract at the conclusion of the 2026-2027 season, opening the door for the Packers to be in the market for a new starting center.
